Firstly, since I last posted, I have learnt that you shouldn't really give small children coffee... It was amusing but um...heh heh, nah, it was amusing! ;)
Secondly, um...I'm very busy atm. It's annoying really, but in the good kind of a way! This month is my gig month. Sure, sure, I know, so was June, but have you *seen* the line-up?! Awesome! I've already been to see American Headcharge/Panic Cell/Twin Method in the Voodoo Lounge last Friday, though I arrived late and missed Twin Method. The other two I must say were quite enjoyable, unfortunately I didn't appreciate the full experience as I'd already had a good bit to drink... From what I could tell through the haze, they were good!
Saturday, I saw Borat. Although some parts of this movie were funny...it could not be saved, do NOT go to see this!! It's awful!! At times, it's painful, I did not need to disgust my eyes and brain with this thing. Some people will find this amusing, but you know what, I'm not one of them, and those who do...if you've seen it, you know what bit in particular I'm talking aboot, perverted!
Thankfully my senses were able to rectify themselves with an unplanned Nathan Fillion marathon. It started by me innocently switching channels and having a Buffy episode with him in it come on, it continued by seeing Serenity on Sky movies and finished up by staying up late to watch Slither in a mate's house.
Sunday dawned, I tidied my room some and headed into town and off to The Point Depot. Slaaaaaaayeeeeerrrr!!! Apologies, The Unholy Alliance is what I meant to say ;P I arrived in time to see Lamb of God and In Flames, possibly Children of Bodom, I was at the bar...and then on came Slayer \m/ Out to the mosh pit with me! I bumped into a guy from taekwondo I knew and away! :D It was excellent, not half long enough though, I wasn't even close to fainting when they finished up!! It was great, I'm covered in bruises, my knee is somehow fucked, but recovering *and* I got a pair of fingerless Slayer gloves!! At Download, last summer, I went around three different sales booths and the Download fingerless gloves were all gone! I was crushed (I love fingerless gloves). They were the first thing I noticed on the Slayer sales booth as I came in the door! The second thing I saw was the guy take them off the display and sell off the last pair, crushed-ness :( Thankfully, a second booth still had them, so up I galloped and them I bought! :D Happy mosher!!! :D
So, my plans for this week...well, went to see The Last Kiss last night. It was fairly predictable, but an enjoyable watch nonetheless, oh, and maybe slightly depressing...actually, it kinda reminded me of Scrubs, I know, Zach Braff is the first clue, but still..Scrubs is funny and goofy most of the time, but every now and again you're brought back to the reality of working in a hospital where things go wrong and people die.. The Last Kiss was the more serious side of Scrubs, and of Zach Braff. It was interesting, but also depressing to watch, but still, just a movie, and not Scrubs, cos Scrubs is just awesome! :D
Tonight, 'tis Dropkick's night! I've never seen them live but I've heard so much about it that I'm very *very* excited!! Here's hoping that my knee is in one piece, for apparently the moshes are insane, the music is excellent and you can KISS ME, I'M SHITFACED!!!!
Oh, and um, the rest of the week is gonna be filled with going-away parties, graduation parties, birthday parties, Christening parties, going to Waterford and being back up in time for Monday when I'll be off to see Opeth and Paradise Lost.
It's all happening in Dublin, and it's all happening now ..... 'cept for the bits that are down in Waterford....
